When the tree becomes the emergency

Discuss your situationBuilt around the property
Hilton Head tree emergencies require more than a street address
For a Hilton Head Island property, the route to a damaged tree may include a community gate, a narrow driveway, or shared access near neighboring homes. Provide the full address, community name, and any known entry requirements when you request help.
Storm damage can affect roofs, decks, screened areas, and landscaping at the same time. If you are an off-island owner or property manager, identify who can provide access and authorize work. Equipment placement, site conditions, and community coordination are reviewed as part of the response.
Community gates & entry
Share the community name, gate instructions, and an authorized contact. Known entry restrictions help the response team plan access.
Roofs, decks & neighboring homes
Describe every structure under or touching the tree so the removal plan accounts for the affected property and nearby occupied areas.
Owners, guests & managers
For vacation homes and rentals, coordinate decisions through an authorized owner or manager and identify any occupied areas crews need to account for.
One clear next step
From the first call to a coordinated response
Storm damage can leave several things competing for your attention. The first conversation helps identify the immediate problem and organize the work around it.
Tell us what happened
Call or send the address, the affected property, and a callback number. Share photos only if you can take them from a safe location.
Review the response
The tree’s position, access, structure damage, and equipment needs help determine the work and available response options.
Confirm the plan
Review the scope, authorization, and scheduling so you know what is being arranged before work starts.
Remove, protect & document
The agreed work moves forward, with a clear handoff for cleanup, temporary roof protection, or remaining repairs.
Tree on the roof?
Plan the removal and what comes next
A tree resting on a house or garage needs a plan that accounts for the building underneath it. Controlled handling, equipment access, and the removal sequence all matter.
Once the tree is removed, the roof may still be open to the weather. Ask about temporary tarping and mitigation alongside the removal so the next step is part of the conversation.
- Tree and limb removal around affected structures
- Crane and rigging review when the job calls for it
- Temporary roof protection considered in the scope
- Debris handling and remaining repair needs identified
For immediate danger to life, call 911 first. Keep clear of damaged structures and unstable trees. Report downed or contacted power lines to the utility; do not approach the hazard for photos.
